Beer: Ratings & Reviews

Reviews by Bierwolf:

I drank this from a pilsener glass. Also the product that I had was labeled "Premium" and came in a green bottle. I did not see this on the Guinness website, only the lager shown on this page.

Appearance: Somewhere between yellow and gold in color and clear. Two fingers of nice foam that left some decent lacing all the way down as the beer was consumed. Some carbonation rising up from the bottom.

Smell: My nose was smelling mostly hops with some malt aroma in the background.

Taste: To me it was mostly hops with maltiness in the background again. Hop bitterness was mild with a little aftertaste.

Mouth feel: It was smooth and easy. Semi-dry finish with flavor hanging around a little bit.

Overall. This is a good beer that I would have again. I believe it to be slightly above par for the style.

Appearance  This one poured a light and clear yellow with just a tinge of orange. The head was full as well.

Smell  No skunk to start things off, which is always a big plus for this category. The nasty Gummi-Bear sweetness found in a lot of Pale Lager macros is absent as well, leaving the drinker with a harsh but clear nose of grain.

Taste  This is not bad. Its more ricey than grainy, but theres nothing offensive in here.

Mouthfeel  Light-bodied, of course, with a bit of decent carbonation. This one is quite refreshing.

Drinkability  I cant believe Im saying this, but Im going to award a Pale Lager macro the title of average. Congratulations Guinness!

This was a decent lager. My pour had a good head on it that faded quickly and left little lace. The smell was quite grainy with a little bit of hop in there as well. The taste was simmilar to many macro lagers I've had...grain with a touch of malt flavor and little to no hop bitterness. Although my girlfriend ordered one and enjoyed a beer for the first time, I do not think I will be paying for another one of these myself..

Pours light yellow. Clear. Abundant foamy head that settles down nicely. The taste contains some corny notes similar to American Adjunct Lagers but better. There is a premium quality that sets it apart and makes it better than average.A very good choice for a summer session beer over a bbq'd hamburger.A refreshing and enjoyable beer.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.

Appearance: The body has great clarity and a bright yellow straw color. Its head is thick with big pillowy stiff peaks. It has great retention and leaves behind lots of cool lacing.

Smell: The aroma has pleasant aromatic hops and light malt.

Taste/Mouth feel: Its flavor has a good balance of sweet, light malts with mellow leafy and floral hops. Bitterness is mild and fades to a clean finish. Its texture is smooth and wet with average carbonation and a light to medium body that is very drinkable.

Notes: For me this was a very enjoyable beer with a beautiful look and pleasing aroma. The flavor is clean, refreshing and highly drinkable. Cheers!
